How Can a Working Woman Be Devoted to Both Her Career and Her Family Life?

Every modern woman is faced with one particularly difficult choice at some point during her life. When it comes to choosing whether to go to work or stay at home with her husband and child, every woman makes this decision in a different way and for different reasons. Is it good for a family- particularly the child to have a mother who is always home,or is it better if the woman can contribute to be a part of the family’s income?. There are obviously two sides to this argument but the main question is how can a working mom strike the right balance to keep her family from suffering because she is not there all the time To begin with, there are many satisfactions of becoming a house-wife. One of them, and I feel the most important, is the feeling of cosiness you would give your family.Its the care you bring that breeds trust. Being able to spend time with your family, and not having to rush home to do things, sharing your daily-life with your husbands and child and asking theirs in return.If you’re too busy, housework can be left to someone else, but remember to keep the chief role,you have to watch out and be awareness of everything happening in your own house Secondly, getting on with a clear schedule may be much help in your situation. Regular absence in the family occasions can aggravate people’s disappointment and none will feel compassion for your busy life.In addtion, don’t bring too much work home with you and never be edgy to the people in your family just because your business doesn’t get on its way. All in all, woman nowadays can do it well either at her office or family as long as she can manage her time and show her love to people in the family.

...“Between a Woman and Her Doctor”
“Between a Woman and Her Doctor” by Martha Mendoza is the author’s personal experience of a complex abortion while dealing with the difficulties of legal disputes and limited medical assistance during an emotional time in herlife. Mendoza uses the expressive purpose as she writes her story to express her depressing and frustrating feelings she has during the death of her child as well as the challenging time as she tries to obtain a dilation and extraction procedure.

...﻿Importance of Agrippina’s family and her first two marriages to hercareer
Agrippina’s family background was the basis of her influence and power. Her family’s position of power enabled her to be more influential than most other women of her era. She was born of both Julian and Claudian bloodlines. She was a descendant of the Emperor Augustus, nice and later wife of Claudius, sister of Gaius and mother of Nero. Her mother, Agrippina the Elder, and father, Germanicus, were well respected figures in Roman society, which also contributed to her importance. Her first two marriages to Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Gaius Sallutius Passienus Crispus, gave her the protection and wealth, which ensured her survival.
Agrippina the Elder was a determined, intelligent woman who sought support her husband and advance the careers of her sons. Agrippina the Elder was born in 14BC, to Julia and Agrippa. During her lifetime she had seen many of herfamily and friends suffer from persecution, but she maintained her opposition to Tiberius. It is suggested her brother, Gaius Caesar, was poisoned at the hands of Livia, leaving Augustus no other choice but to...

...indigenous culture of her country in a style combining Realism, Symbolism and Surrealism.
Drawing on personal experiences including her troubled marriage, her painful miscarriages, and her numerous operations, Kahlo's works are often characterized by their stark portrayals of pain. Fifty-five of her 143 paintings are self-portraits, which frequently incorporate symbolic portrayals of her physical and psychological wounds. Kahlo was deeply influenced by indigenous Mexican culture, which is apparent in her paintings' bright colors and dramatic symbolism. Christian and Jewish themes are often depicted in her work as well; she combined elements of the classic religious Mexican tradition--which were often bloody and violent--with surrealist renderings. While her paintings are not overtly Christian--she was, after all, an avowed communist--they certainly contain elements of the macabre Mexican Christian style of religious paintings.
Frida Kahlo de Rivera (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter, born in Coyoacán. Perhaps best known for her self-portraits, Kahlo's work is remembered for its "pain and passion", and its intense, vibrant colors. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and...

...Dickinson was a 19th century poet from Massachusetts who did not become famous until decades after her death. Looking back at her poetry, she was especially infatuated with death and religion. It would make perfect sense then that her poetry was influenced greatly by her own feelings of depression and loneliness. Emily Dickinson’s work is unique because of the poetic devices she uses, like irony, symbolism, connotation, imagery, and personification, and the recurring themes of death, religion, and nature. The following poems are related because they all share Dickinson’s common literary devices and themes.
In “Safe in their Alabaster Chambers”, Emily Dickinson primarily uses irony and symbolism as a literary technique. In the first stanza, Dickinson describes the dead as being “safe” in their coffins. It is ironic to say that the dead are safe because they are not living and prosperous, but rather deceased and lifeless. Dickinson’s poetry was often based on religion. She was a Christian, therefore believing in life after death. In lines 2 and 3, Dickinson calls the “sleepers,” or the dead, "members of the resurrection.” This is ironic because these terms refer to the Christian religion that says they would rise to heaven after their life on earth, rather than being stuck buried underground. This raises the question of how exactly did Emily Dickinson feel about...

...In Charlotte Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, readers are exposed to the horrific unraveling of the narrator’s psychosis as she becomes obsessive over her engagements with the wallpaper in her room. Although this protagonist greatly desires to endow her role as the archetypal loving wife and mother, she is limited from successfully expressing her own beliefs and creativity. This confinement is a direct result of John, who is bothher husband and physician. Contrary to the subservient and domestic standard that women were held to during the 19th century, the narrator rebels against her husband, John, by engaging in creative activities during her treatment. Conflicting with the societal model of the all-knowing male counter-part, the narrator’s insanity is due to her imprisonment, which is ironically direct result of her husband.
The narrator and her husband, John, are renting an estate house for the summer. According to her husband, his wife suffers from a type “temporary nervous depression—a hysterical tendency” (489). As the story unravels, readers are exposed to the fact that her illness has placed her in a powerless position against her overbearing husband. As part of her cure, John has prescribed his wife absolute rest; she cannot work,...

...A Woman and her Doll
In 1959 the world of toys was changed forever by a woman under 12 inches tall, Barbie. Barbie was a pioneer in a time when baby dolls with cubby, rosey cheeks dominated the market. She was the first mass marketed adult-like doll and one of the first toys to have a marketing strategy based on television advertising. Since Barbie’s debut at the New York Toy Fair, in her zebra bathing suit, she has kept pace with the times and sported many influential and influenced looks over the decades. It is now estimated that over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in over 150 countries (Wikipedia, “Barbie”). M.G. Lord, author of "Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Living Doll," called Barbie the most potent icon of American culture of the late 20th century.
She's an archetypal female figure, she's something upon which little girls project their idealized selves. For most baby boomers, she has the same iconic resonance as any female saints, although without the same religious significance. (Lord, Forever Barbie)
Behind this icon of pop culture was a woman by the name of Ruth Handler. Ruth and her husband, Isador “Elliot” Handler founded Mattel in 1942. But it wasn’t until Ruth’s revelational busty figured, blue eyed, platinum blonde came on to the scene, that business really started booming. Handler’s inspiration came from watching...
